The Life & Ramblings Of A Zillennial

Checking In With Everyone

I know I’ve been inactive for a few days now but to be fair, I did you give y’all a heads-up about that happening. However, I decided it was a good idea to be checking in with everyone and share a little update. Thankfully, I’ve gotten most of my work done and can ease back into blogging regularly. I’m glad it took less time than expected because I started to already miss blogging. I’m so used to sharing everything with you guys. In fact, so much has happened just in the last few days I haven’t posted. But I’ll keep it to myself because I want to share it in my next “Day In My Life” blog post and YouTube video.

This is totally random but I keep hearing about this movie Saltburn and really want to watch it. It sounds like the kind of psychological thriller movie I would enjoy. If any of you have seen it let me know in the comments what you thought of it and whether you would recommend it. People seem to really like it so I’m probably going to watch it at some point anyway but like on my own lol. If you know you know…

So, that’s it with me checking in. What have you been up to? How has your week been so far? Any fun things going on with you at the moment? Do you have any interesting plans for the rest of the week? Let me know in the comments below because I would love to hear from you. Or simply stop by and say hi!

If you enjoyed this post don’t forget to like, follow, share and comment!

    We are expecting sub-zero temps over the weekend, so I am doing my shopping tomorrow and picking up ingredients to make a big pot of soup. There is just something comforting in a big bowl of chili with a grilled cheese sandwich on a cold winter day!

    It’s really cold in Canada. It’s going to get as low as -40°C without the windchill and -50°C with the windchill. I haven’t been productive this week because I’m cold. When I’m not hiding under blankets and trying to stay warm, I’m in the steam room or at a hot tub.

    Hey Pooj, any book / movie recommendations are highly appropriated, don’t hesitate to mention those in your posts. We watched an absolutely stunning movie Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959), so amazingly well made. It’s almost like reading a book, I mean a novel.
    This coming weekend we are going to celebrate old new year and it so happened that it’s finally going to snow for the first time. I’m excited!

      I would also recommend A Haunting In Venice, one of the best movies I’ve watched recently. Hiroshima Mon Amour sounds really great- I’ll check it out. Oh nice, have a fun celebration and I love the snow too!

      Yeah, for sure. WordPress feels like home for me in a way, I’ve been here for almost a decade so I kept feeling like something was missing haha.

      Saltburn is definitely not for everyone and probably for a very niche audience. I don’t know if I’ll like it but I think I’ll give it a try.

    I watched the first 10 minutes of Saltburn and it didn’t grip me, haha. That’s not a very fair assessment of a movie, and it might still be great.

    Hey! Glad you are back. Well, it’s been sunny, rainy, and cold here in Texas, but you can’t ever tell about this weather. It’s constantly changing. Right now it’s foggy and cold. Yesterday it was sunny and cold. I wonder what it’s going to be like at the end of the day. I can’t wait to read your book. Let us know when it hits Amazon and any other bookstore where it will be sold. Still studying. I am studying a Digital Literacy course in my program, and it is not so easy. I just hope and pray I pass the exam. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.

    My wife and I watched “Saltburn” a few weeks ago. Barry Keoghan is well suited for the role he plays because he’s an actor who’s face you can never read. It’s a creepy movie with a nasty sting at the end.

      Yeah, it’s been really popular recently so most of us have heard of it. I plan to watch it this weekend.

      It’s really creepy and messes with you psychologically so I would definitely not recommend watching it alone like I did lol!
